Bro. Voddie Baucham has two posts up about Christians removing their children from public schools.

What About Single Moms?
Salt and Light

“I was raised by a single mother. I would never argue that single mothers are irrelevant, or that they should be ignored. Quite the contrary, part of our message is that churches need to do more to provide affordable educational alternatives for those who cannot afford conventional educational options.”


“I have asked before, and I will ask again, how far do they have to go? What do they have to do to our children before we will leave? Do they have to molest our children? They’ve done that. Do they have to beat, maim or kill our children? They’ve done that too. Do they have to fail to educate our children adequately? They’ve done that. Do they have to deny our God and his laws? They have done that too. Do they have to lead our children away from Christ and his Church in droves by indoctrinating them in Atheistic Secular Humanism? Check that one off too. When will enough be enough? When will our desire to raise our children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Eph. 6:4) outweigh our addiction to free daycare?”

If you have never heard Bro. Voddie Baucham preach, then you are in for a real treat! He is an old-fashioned Baptist preacher who tells it like it is. I first heard about him from my pastor a few weeks ago. My understanding is that Bro. Voddie used to be very involved in youth ministry for the Southern Baptist Convention until he became convicted that the way youth ministry is being done is not biblical. You can hear a powerful sermon delivered to a Baptist convention called “Closing the Generation Gap” here. He tells the truth about how children are no longer valued by Baptists in general and how most youth ministry is not biblical.

There are many audio and video files listed and a brief bio of Bro. Voddie at Reforming My Mind. Bro. Voddie has an excellent website and blog at VoddieBaucham.org. He is a pastor at Grace Family Baptist Church. He was interviewed extensively on the film The Return of the Daughters. You can see an excellent video clip with Bro. Voddie that didn’t make it to the final cut here.
